Tiere toppen! is a board game released in 2023 for 2–5 players, 30–40 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Matthias Jünemann, Hannes Bonzheim, and Stephanie Heyl and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Simultaneous Action Selection.
With great photos and surprising facts / figures about 175 animals from all over the world! In this new trick-taking card game for 2-5 players ages 8 and up, one gets excited at the diverse animal kingdom! Everyone learns about the often amazing measurements and characteristics of each animal by constantly comparing the four categories of "size," "weight," "age," and "speed." Because both the highest and the lowest value can sting, it is possible to win in one category, for example, with the ant against a much larger animal, such as the cat (same game principle as in the first two games "Länder toppen!" and "Inseln toppen!"). But beware, there are also predators who can reshuffle the cards again within one trick ... Simple rules, exciting gameplay! —description from the publisher (translated)
Tiere toppen! supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tiere toppen! is 30–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tiere toppen! for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
